Players will walk between the 9 different tee boxes at elevated locations within the ballpark. Each tee box will be equipped with adult golf clubs (see below for details). Players will have the chance to hit 2 balls per hole. Scores are based on how close each approach shot is to the hole (there is no secondary shot from the field). After play, players are invited to participate in a 10th hole putting challenge to conclude the round. Staff will be present throughout the course.

How does the scoring work?

Each tee box is paired with a “hole” on the field with a variety of illustrated greens and obstacles and marked by a flagstick.

If your shot hits the correct flagstick and stays within the circle, you’ve scored a hole-in-one (1)
If your shot lands within the circle surrounding the flagstick, you’ve scored a birdie (2)
If your shot lands on the correct green, you’ve scored a par (3)
If your shot lands on the field, but outside of the green, you’ve scored a bogey (4)
If your shot lands outside of the field of play (anywhere not on the field), you’ve scored a double bogey (5)

Each player will get 2 shots at each hole. You are only scored on the better shot. For the 10th hole putting challenge, you will get one ball and there is a maximum score of 5.

Be on the lookout for hole-in-one contests for a chance to win prizes!

What will the course look like?

Each hole will have two tee boxes, allowing for two foursomes to play at the same time. Tee boxes will be on elevated platforms with artificial turf. Players will walk to each hole exploring 4 levels of the ballpark. Hole distances typically range from 30-160 yards.
